Not sure exactly what was happening. I was about to backup everything and reinstally Proxmox OS again and reload my VMs. It seems like I had a couple USB drives that were loaded in the Windows Server 2019 VM that was causing a lockup of the VM. The whole OS on the VM became inaccessible shortly...
When I start up my Windows Server 2019 VM, it locks up and VNC Proxy, or RDP become inaccessible a few minutes after it is loaded.
I am trying to fiddle with settings to fix this. Somehow this may be related to Virtio drivers or PBS backup. It started going weird when I tried to backup to PBS...
Is this resolved? Seems like I get this issue with one of my 2 nodes.
The Windows 2019 Standard seems to be getting this issue ever since I tried to back it up to PVE Backup Server.
My other node with Windows 2016 Essentials doesn't have this behaviour...

I did't get a QEMU Version warning, but I uinstalled the Qemu Agent from the OS and Disabled the Qemu Guest Agent in the VM Options.
I will try installing it. However to think of it, I don't remember specifically installing it on any of my VMs before. I would use the virtio drivers...
To clarify, stop and start the VM using either the command lin shell or the web GUI, but not through the OS? I've done that several times already. I have uninstalled the Qemu Agent, but still have it enabled through the Proxmox options to replicate my other Windows 2016 Essentials VM.
So far the...
I am seeing the same issue with my Windows 2019 Standard VM
VM 100 qmp command 'query-backup' failed
I have virtio drivers from 1.185.
However, I have the same drivers on my other Windows 2016 Essentials VM and it is working.
No QEMU Guest Agent installed though.
Thank you so much @tom
I've tried that several times.
Thing is that it gets and error and then the VM gets locked up. The VM is running, but the OS obviously is not and I have to stop it manually and restart.
I followed this https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Qemu-guest-agent
I'm wondering. Is this...
I know this is a novice question, but is rsync installed by default? or I need to install it?
Are there disadvantages to using cp -R ?
I know rsync is faster and does more checking and works local and remote and so on.
I'll look into it.
Thank you.
I'm wondering. Is this Qemu Agent necessary?
I have two VM Servers running. Windows Server 2019 and Windows Server 2016 Essentials.
The WIndows 2019 was backing up okay using the new PVE PBS Beta version.
On the other hand, the Windows 2016 Essentials kept getting an error.
ERROR: PBS backups...
I know this is probably an easy fix, but with one of my nodes and VMs on that node. I keep getting this error when I am trying to back it up.
ERROR: PBS backups are not supported by the running QEMU version. Please make sure you've installed the latest version and the VM has been restarted...
There is probably a better method or more acceptable, but I tried cp -r /107 from /backup/disk2/vm/107 to the /backup/disk1/ and I added and tried restoring. I got an error and realized there was chunks of data was missing. I then cp -R /backup/disk2/.chunks/ to the new location and restored...
You mentioned making a larger zpool and then moving the directory for the datasatore to the new pool.
I am quite new. How did you do that?
For example, I just added another disk where I want to store my backups. For now store1 is on /backup/disk1 but I created a new store on /backup/disk2 which...
Just wondering if you can move from one store to another? For example, I tried the backup server out and it was one large drive at first, but I want to add more drives. Can I transfer the data from lets say store1 on the main installation to store2 which is on a separate drive?
Thanks.
Hello everybody,
Is it difficult to add storage and move the data store locations?
Is it as simple as adding storage and changing the data store mount location or moving it over?
Is there documentation or online tutorials for this?
If this is going to be a backup server, managing storage and...
When I first created the PBS VM I went with the default 32 GB but ran out of space. I was able to increase it to 150GB, However I had to take the unit offline.
I first used
qm resize 100 scsi0 +118G
then I booted into Gparted and added the unallocated space.
I believe th next was.

Thank you so much for this information. I had a couple partial backups that failed due to insufficient space. I managed to increase the storage and ran the backup again last night. It's still running now.
Anyways knowing that the grace period of 24 hours helped a lot. I just initiated the GC on...
I wanted to update that I got PVE Backup Server working remotely with DNS. It lookses like the dns name resolution was having and issue because the PVE node I built before putting in was showing the old DNS of the offsite locaton, but not the gateway of the current location. After I updated...
To Clarify, do I need to open the ports in the router or Firewall for remote backups to work? I Thanks.
Yes pretty much that is what I did. I guess I can do a stop backup over a time when they a longer period where their office is not operating. I ran out of disk space yesterday.
How do I...
quick question. I had to go onsite to terminate more cat6 cables. I downloaded a backup to usb drive. Can i carry on incremental backups if I upload it to my pve backup server? Also can these backups be transferred or replicated to other backup servers down the road? Thanks so much.
Oh yeah the...
